  • Re: Talk me into/out of buying BS5

    I'm guessing Zuckerburg, Musk, Gates, Jobs, Ellison won't be stopping by the store then.

  • Re: Talk me into/out of buying BS5

    What I find surprising is that a number of people turn this into an brand versus brand debate. Helping people who have genuine questions is about keeping it to the product facts. The answer I provided discussed the underpinning technology of one product versus another. On a pure technology (software+hardware) front, there is absolutely no contest. If

    Focus your investment on the B&O TV and Speakers you really want, where they continue to deliver a differentiated product. The Beosound 5 does not provide a seamless connection to your iTune library. Ask yourself, if you were buying a new PC today, would you buy it with Windows XP. No. But thats what a BS5 fundamentally is in embedded flavour. The

  • Re: Apple's "AirPlay" and B&O

    [quote user="TripEnglish"]I think that there's an experience deficit in some of these responses. If things were this easy I would be right there on the bandwagon. I'm not in love with cabling and I'm just as interested in novel new solutions as anyone, but I run a high-end installation company and the expectations attached to six

    [quote user="TripEnglish"]stand that I'm not against Airplay in any way, I'm simply pointing out its flaws. Apple's a great product. I'm typing on my brand new MacBook Air (3rd one), and can see an AppleTV, iPad, and 3 iPhones just by looking around the room I'm in. I'm in no way opposed to the and most of my gripes

    1. Maybe. 2. Install IOS 4.2 and the choice is iPod, iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC, iTunes server - your entire collection - not just whats on your nearby device. If you have an iPad you can drive the source and output seamlessly over your WiFi using the new remote App, which is just brilliant 3. Can't remember the last time I switched off my Mac. Instructions

  • Re: Why are B&O doing a Beo6?

    [quote user="Beofan2"] And to me! I´m Apple fan too but can´t see the point of comparing everything with Apple. Beo6 sounds like a nice product I will use with my BS5. I could use my Beo5, I find a nice product too, in my bedroom. [/quote] Thanks for commenting on the thread. I had not meant to compare Apple with B&O. The thread

  • Why are B&O doing a Beo6?

    Hope this might be worth a separate thread. I learnt from the dealer conference thread that a Beo6 is coming which is completely puzzling to me, when B&O have clearly brought in some XCode developers to build C+ apps that run on iOS. The ideal Beo5 replacement would be a package of hardware/software - like TomTom for iPhone - that combines a bluetooth

  • Re: Apple's "AirPlay" and B&O

    The key technology differences between what was possible yesterday and today is: - Ability to transport video as well as audio. - Enhanced capabilities with control over device to device synching - not just iTunes host to device. - 3rd party support. For those of you concerned about bandwidth or dropouts, I would suggest looking at the latest simultaneous

    Trip, can I respectfully disagree around your analysis of this. The iPod as the Audio Master is pre- August 2010. You'll see these products very quickly replaced by Wireless receivers. The market will shift very quickly on this. I'd suggest as much as 25% in time for Christmas selling season. And you are right, this is the lower end of the market
